Diez mitos desmentidos sobre el cambio climático

The document outlines ten prevalent climate myths, attributing their spread to fossil fuel companies and political allies to confuse the public and press. It counters these myths with scientific consensus, noting that over 99% of climate scientists agree human activity is overheating the planet. The guide emphasizes that while the climate has changed naturally in the past, the current rate of change is unprecedented in 66 million years due to 250 years of fossil fuel combustion. It asserts that the tools to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius exist and that renewable energy is increasingly cost-competitive with oil. Geographically, it highlights the United States as the largest historical emitter of greenhouse gases, followed by China, and notes that current warming of approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius is already intensifying extreme weather globally.

• There is an overwhelming scientific consensus regarding human-induced climate change, with more than 99% of climate scientists agreeing that human activity is causing the planet to overheat.
• The current rate of human-induced carbon release is unprecedented over the last 66 million years, driven by 250 years of burning fossil fuels.
• While China is currently the leading annual emitter, the United States is the largest historical contributor to climate change based on cumulative emissions.
• Global temperatures have already risen approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, which is already intensifying extreme weather events worldwide.
• Humanity possesses the necessary technologies and tools to stop climate change and limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius, with renewable energy sources like solar and wind often costing less than fossil fuels.
